'CASHAND PARCEILCARRIER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 278,659, dated May 29, 1883.

Application filed April a, 1883. (Ndmodel-l .To all whom it may concern:

others skilled in the art to which it appertains I to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification.

This invention has for its object to provide improvements in cash and parcel carriers for warehouses; and it consists in a carrier suspended onand "adapted to travel a cable; of the hangers supporting between them a frame or seat, within which is held a cup or receptacle for holding the article to be transported, said cup and frame adapted to be turned in their bearings by the operator; and the, invention also consists in means whereby the cup is held upright in the frame and prevented from toppling while carried'along thecable, all of which will be more particularly described and claimed hereinafter.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a vertical side elevation of my device. Fig. 2 is an end view, showing one of the hangers which support the cup and frame as being provided with a spring. Fig. 3 is a detail view.

Reference being bad to the letters of reference marked thereon, A A are, the grooved wheels by which the device travelsthe cable a. B B are the hangers, their top ends being bifurcated, and within which are jeurnaled the wheels. Within the lower ends of the hangers is loosely held and supported a collar or. ring,

0, having two journal-arms, b b, by which it is fitted in the ends of the hangers. This ring is a seat for the cup or receptacle D, provided with a hinged lid, d. One of the hangers at the end in which is held the ring is niched out from its side, and over which is secured a spring, 0.. The ring is designed to turn in its bearings, and that ,one of its journal-arms over which is arranged the spring has a flat side, as shown in Fig. 2, said construction showing that While the device is normally in position the spring will prevent the cup from toppling; but when an article is to be placed therein the operator. turns it over toward him. Thus it will be seen that some force has to be exerted to turn it.

.It will be obvious that I need not confine m yself to the precise construction herein shown, but can very materially change its form with out departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is V 1. In a cash and parcel carrier, the wheels and hangers herein described, in combination with the holdingring and receptacle, asset forth.

2. In a cash and parcel carrier, the combination of the hangers and wheels herein described, with the receptacle, holding-ring, and spring, said spring adapted to bear against the journal-arm of the ring, for the purpose set forth.

3. In a cash and parcel carrier, the wheels journaled in the bifurcated ends of the hangers,
